The Weekly Florists' Review. 



SEPTEMBKK 20, 1900. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



Cut flower business conditions dur- 

 ing the past week were very little 

 brighter than during the summer. 

 Very few good roses are coming into 

 town; carnations are not plentiful, 

 either, but the demand is llgjit. Out- 

 door flowers have suffered from the 

 dry weather, the first of an unusually 

 moist summer. 



The trade in foliage plants, for 

 which this market is famous, has be- 

 gun with the out-of-town orders. The 

 stock is excellent and shows careful 

 culture. 



The growers are busy as bees. The 

 rose men are tying, feeding and dis- 

 budding. The carnation men are lift- 

 ing and staking. The general florists 

 are attending to the thousand- and one 

 matters that September always brings. 

 While the seedsmen are receiving and 

 distributing millions, yes, millions, of 

 foreign bulbs. Would that we grew 

 these little bulbs in our own country.
